Five minutes into the game, Jenske Steenwijk chipped the ball into the penalty area. Alex Popp let it bounce once and finished with her left foot to give her team an early 1-0 lead.<\/p>\nThe hosts subsequently dropped even deeper in front of their own goal, allowing the Black and Yellow defensive line \u2013 which had pushed high up the field \u2013 to take control of the build-up play. The BVB Women found a way past the deep-lying defense in the 19th minute when Lara Schmidt played the opening pass to Ricarda Walkling. Walkling\u2019s through ball found Alex Popp in the box, who slipped the ball past the goalkeeper to set up Ronja Leubner for the 2\u20130 lead.<\/p>\n<img data-assetref=\"BVB-Frauen-Recklinghausen-3-1793562078988\" src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/11/01/frauen-spielbericht-recklinghausen/BVB-Frauen-Recklinghausen-3.jpg\"><\/p>\nThe Borussia women consistently defended isolated counterattacks by the fifth-place team and patiently worked to build up their own play. Less than five minutes after the second half resumed, the ball landed in the penalty area at the feet of Alex Popp, who \u2013 just as she had in the first half \u2013 uncompromisingly slotted it into the far corner \u2013 3\u20130 (49'). Another four minutes later, Jenske Steenwijk headed the ball in to make it 4\u20130 (53'), as she simply had to nudge a cross from Ann-Sophie Vogel over the goal line.<\/p>\nIn her final play of the game (62'), captain Alex Popp completed her hat trick and made it 5\u20130 after Ronja Leubner had just lifted the ball over goalkeeper Carlotta Sesjak and onto the crossbar. The BVB Women failed to capitalize on subsequent chances to score a sixth goal\u2014first in the 79th minute off a free kick by Rita Schumacher and then in the 81st minute through Annika Enderle. With their 5\u20130 away victory on Sunday evening, the BVB Women solidified their flawless lead at the top of the table with 33 points from eleven games.

The visitors from Seville have been one of the big surprises of the season so far: With nine points after three games, they remain undefeated and sit three points ahead of BVB. <\/p>\nSaturday, 7 November (3:30 p.m.): BVB vs. SV Elversberg \n <\/b>Following the top-of-the-table clash against record champions FC Bayern Munich, this coming weekend brings a stark contrast: SV Elversberg is playing in the Bundesliga for the first time ever and has so far managed to stay clear of the relegation zone. BVB, which has earned ten out of twelve points at home in the Bundesliga so far, is determined to pick up points against the newcomer.   <\/p>\nSunday, 15 November (3:00 p.m.): BVB Women vs. FC Schalke 04 \n <\/b>It\u2019s derby time at Rote Erde Stadium! The BVB Women host FC Schalke 04 for a neighborhood showdown and are aiming to set a new attendance record. The capacity of the Rote Erde will be increased to 17,555 seats for this match, which would mark the largest crowd ever for a women\u2019s regional league game. Against their direct rival for promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga, head coach Markus Högner\u2019s team is clearly aiming for a derby victory. <\/p>\nSaturday, 21 November (3:30 p.m.): Borussia Mönchengladbach \u2013 BVB \n <\/b>The \u201cBorussians\u201d derby is one of the Bundesliga\u2019s most historic matches. Borussia Dortmund and Borussia Mönchengladbach will face off in the league for the 109th time. Mönchengladbach lost their first six Bundesliga matches of the current season but secured their first win with a 3-2 away victory at VfB Stuttgart on Matchday 7.

The match in Munich was a real nail-biter that wasn\u2019t decided until the penalty shootout. Now the two teams will face off again in the Alsco Women\u2019s Handball Bundesliga.

Arsenal and BVB last crossed paths in the Champions League twelve years ago. Back then, the Gunners came out on top with a 2\u20130 victory.
